The Wrap – Aug

Congratulations to Palate and Alpino who this week both picked up a hat at the 2023 Cuisine Good Food Awards.

Hayes Common, Mr Pickles and The Shack were also recognised as great spots to try.

We couldn’t agree more but believe there are a number of other fine places in our region worth some accolades.  What do you think?

A little birdie tells me Sage is set to open its permanent restaurant in Hamilton East (above Duck Island) later this month.  Also in Hamilton East, Made is getting closer to opening (thought to be October).  Watch this space for more.
